Screenshots
- This is how the sidemenu will look:
Except for having the keyword in the title tag, how exactly is this plugin better for SEO than having the default WP tag cloud?
Because seo-tag-cloud uses html markup, while wp_tag_cloud uses classes that have no meaning whatsoever to search engines.
Hey, I love this plugin, my only problem is that my tags aren’t different sizes. I tried messing around with the size through CSS, but it seemed to resize all of my tags, not just ones that are tagged more. Any thoughts?
This as well is set up by the default stylesheet. You can edit
function seo_tag_cloud_widget_style()to your needs.I’m sorry my friend, I have the same size problem. They are all the same size when not using widget. But I’m really a beginner. So, what are the parameters that I have to put inside the parenteses of “function seo_tag_cloud_widget_style()”, to make it look like a regular Tag Cloud? I’ve tried some stuffs, but it is always the same.
Thank you very much, best regards from Brazil!
If you’re not using the widget, you can add this to your code:
add_action('wp_head', 'seo_tag_cloud_widget_style');
Or you can add the css that’s in it to your css.
The default seo-tag-cloud style has this line:
.seo-tag-cloud em {font-style: normal; font-size: 1.07em;}
This should work with the nested
<em>-s as you would like it.You can also try this css:
.seo-tag-cloud em em a {font-size:12px;}
.seo-tag-cloud em em em em a {font-size:14px;}
.seo-tag-cloud em em em em em em a {font-size:16px;}
Yes! Now it worked for me!!
Thank’s for responding me with a special atencion!!
Your plugin is something that we all need, WP should incorporate it!
=)
Best regards!

I would like the links to show up without underlining, similar to the default tag cloud. Can you please tell me how to make this change?
Thanks.
You should be able to do that via CSS. Have a look at
function seo_tag_cloud_widget_style()This is really a good plugin and it really helps for SEO.
Hey there,
Lovely plugin!
I was wondering if it is possible to ad ‘tags’ to ‘pages’ instead of only to ‘posts’…I guess this is possible, but think a plugin is needed or so.
Would love to hear an answer,
Thanks!
Nice. Thanks for a customizable and SEO friendly keyword cloud. I appreciate the ability to have my cloud indexed. Thanks.
Blessings,
Wendy
What is the code to place in the sidebar, for those who don’t use widgets?
seo_tag_cloud()or
seo_tag_cloud_widget()You can also pass parameters in an array:
seo_tag_cloud(array('format'=>'list','orderby'=>'count', 'order'=>'DESC'))The possible values are:
format: flat | list
orderby: name | count
order: ASC | DESC | RAND
topic_count_text_callback: name of the callback function (see: seo_tag_cloud_default_topic_count_text in the seo-tag-cloud.php)
Thank you, Gavriel.
Best wishes from the USA.
Hi Gavriel.
Great plugin. Is there a way to control the the colours of the small and big links like the simple tag plugin?
Miklas.
Yes, you can use css, like this:
.seo-tag-cloud em em a {color: #46c;}
.seo-tag-cloud em em em em a {color: #86c;}
.seo-tag-cloud em em em em em em a {color: #b6c;}
You can see it in the side bar in effect.
Is the box size adjustable up or down?
Currently you can set the maximum number of links you’d like to show. Anything else is through the CSS. The output will be
ulordiv.hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.
